Default Re: Crank bolt issue
I would add that in doing mine I held the socket to the right when using the impact and it did a better job. Took about 5 or 10 mins of with my impact wrench but finally came loose. Another good idea that was passed on to me was to put a sheet of something against the radiator so when you back out the bolt you dont run the wrench in it. I have a nice sheet of 3/16 plexiglas that worked great. And yes, the wrench back into it.

Dont forget the new bolt and blue locktite....... Good luck...
